Chapter 5

“Cage fighting,” Desiree said as she took a long sip of her coffee. It was the morning after Rochelle’s birthday and she was still feeling like she could happily strangle Taylor. After he broke the news to her, she had blanked out everything else he had said. She just walked back to the table and sat in silence. It was all she could do not to go crazy at him. When Taylor joined the rest of them at the table, she was not sure what story he had given them because she could see the genuine surprise on her sister and cousin’s faces when she told them about the cage fighting.

“Cage fighting?” Rochelle asked as she looked at her sister.

“Yeah, it sounds idiotic doesn’t it? And it is,” Desiree said angrily.

“But he said he was in a rock and hard place kind of situation,” Cynthia said.

“Of course he did,” Desiree said as she shook her head. “What the hell am I supposed to do? This is a, a dangerous thing, not to mention illegal,” she said.

“Oh it’s legal alright,” Cynthia said.

“What do you mean?” Desiree asked as she turned to look at Cynthia.

“Well, in some states like New York it is illegal but amateur cage fighting is actually right by the books. Unethical yes, immoral even, but there is nothing actually ‘illegal’ in what he is doing as far as the law is concerned,” Cynthia said.

“Well, that is not enough to convince me. I mean, why on earth would he want more money? I thought we were comfortable enough,” Desiree said shaking her head.

“Well, maybe he has other plans. Maybe expansion of his business,” Rochelle said.

“Well, if that is the case, he has over forty grand in the bank,” Desiree said before she took another sip. “This doesn’t make any sense,” she said.

“Well, in all fairness, the bruises were not that bad,” Cynthia said. Desiree turned around and gave her a dirty look. “Not that I’m taking any sides or anything,” she added quickly.

“I don’t want to live like this though, scared that something might happen to him,” Desiree said.

“Sweetie, there is absolutely nothing wrong with what Taylor is doing. You are just being a bit too cautious that’s all,” Rochelle said.

“Really? Would you be okay if Tony were the one fighting Neanderthals in some God- forsaken cage?” Desiree asked.

“Of course not. But that is only because Tony’s hands are softer than veal. Taylor is an ex-marine. That is extremely different,” Rochelle said unconvincingly.

“Either way, I am not okay with all this. Not at all,” Desiree said as she attempted to calm herself. Just then, Desiree’s phone rang interrupting her brief moment of serenity. She looked at the screen and then hit ignore before tossing the phone on the couch.

“Are you not talking to him?” Cynthia asked.

“What am I supposed to say to him? The only things going through my mind are just how much I hate the fool,” Desiree said.

“Have you talked to him at all since yesterday?” Rochelle asked.
